Roberto Banuelos Floating Lizards Mata Ortiz Masterpiece

Roberto Banuelos is arguably among the top ten potters in Mata Ortiz and his name is by now legend among pottery collectors. Roberto's pottery is exceptionally light and is decorated with some of the most precise fine lines or figures such as fish, rabbits, and lizards. Roberto Banuelos is mentioned prominently in the authoritative book The Many faces of Mata Ortiz, pages 85-87. In addition he is mentioned in almost every write up of Mata Ortiz pottery and his works are displayed in museum and collections everywhere.

The present vase measures 7 1/2 inches high by 9 inches in diameter at it widest part. It is decorated with lizards swimming around the surface of the pot. And it is signed by Roberto.
